I don’t love to clean. I also don’t like to spend money on cleaning products. To avoid buying disposable swiffer cloths, I had just been using fleece tucked around the flat end of the swiffer broom and washing the cloth after every use. I could use an improvement.

I love making things for my boys. I had a tiny scrap of my baby’s nursery fabric (that I used for a crib skirt, blanket, and softie football) left. I had some other random scraps of fabric from the other projects, too. So I sewed them all into this boxy pillow. I just made it up as I went along.

No tutorial or in-progress pictures, sorry. Just the finished product.

This binding around the edge (scraps from a pair of jeans) makes the pillow boxy.

And the fringe-y looking stuff is t-shirt yarn. I used the idea here to add three rows of fringe. I thought my little guy would like the texture. He does.

My kitchen needed some spring updates. And since I live in a home where spring means it is {finally} time to get out our road bikes, I figured I’d give it a little bike theme. Similar to the bike kitchen towels I made a few weeks ago.
